I am not anti-trawling, but I absolutely agree that we shouldn’t do it in protected areas, and that harmful fisheries subsidies are bad. #OceanChat 🦑🌎🧪🐠

Talking Points Memo is on the HUD-->NSF story. I've subscribed to TPM since 2016, very much worth it. Here's a free article. They are looking for folks on the inside at NSF and HUD to help break open this story of flagrant corruption. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/on-th...

“How might the narrative about senior women be challenged or changed in order to respect these women who have achieved enough success to earn promotion? How do we stop this generational cycle so that women's wings aren't clipped as soon as they approach the power to soar.”

Ecologists often worry about data being normally distributed, and use nonparametric methods instead. Turns out normality tests are often done incorrectly (on raw data, not resids!!) but ... it's OK? Doing nonparametric tests instead of LMs changes the results very little. tinyurl.com/367zrrbb

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining. Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.

This is the clearest explanation about how incompetent Trump’s economic team is and how stupid this trade war is for literally everyone. You can’t make this shit up, but Trump and his enablers just did.
